Optimising Differentiated Services Strategies under IMS

Journal Title: Annals of Emerging Technologies in Computing - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

The evolving standards of mobile communications, the wide variety of services they offer and the rapid growth of the Internet have made a merger of the two network technologies inevitable. One of the most prominent platforms that has been developed to facilitate this is the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) concept. Many mobile communications standards integrate IMS as the main core network architecture and Quality of Service (QoS) is the main concern for customer satisfaction. A major approach to optimisation of QoS is the Differentiated Services scheme, and a simulation study of implementations of this is presented. The study covered an IMS core network architecture modelled with discrete-event network simulator software, with a Differentiated Services QoS scheme run over it with differing bearer traffic scenarios. Implications for core network architectures are discussed.
